About Sam

After studying PPE, I qualified as a teacher via Teach First and taught secondary-level English and Economics for four years. I taught across Key stages 3-5, including both lower- and higher-ability sets, and my teaching was rated 'Outstanding' in lesson observations. For two years, I headed up a new Economics department, which involved planning the subject curriculum and assessments, and for three years running I have deepened my subject knowledge by serving as an examiner across all boards (OCR, AQA and Edexcel).

I have tutored in these subjects and Politics in London and Manchester for 3 years, helping students improve their working grades, improve their interview technique, pass their common entrance exams, and achieve the results they need to attend university. I offer online and face-to-face tuition, ranging from short-term exam prep to supporting a student across a year of their studies, and from international students moving to the UK, to students resitting their exams for perhaps the second or third time.

While teaching, I achieved an MA in Educational Leadership, which focused on how well GCSEs prepare students for success in Higher Education. I will shortly be returning to university to complete a part-time (long overdue) MA in Creative Writing.

About the lesson

No two students are the same, so no two lessons should be, either. This is the core of my teaching approach, underpinned by a strong foundation of subject knowledge from my studies and teaching experience.

As mentioned above, I have taught/tutored students of all academic backgrounds and abilities, and can differentiate my methods for a range of SEN (e.g. dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, EAL, behavioural difficulties). Fundamentally, I continue to tutor because I hugely enjoy getting to understand each student as an individual, and I enjoy working with them to overcome their specific challenges.

In English, specifically, my approach is governed by a view that 'literature' and 'language' should not be understood in strict isolation, but rather that students of all ages should 'read as writers', and vice versa.

In Politics and Economics, I usually focus on the analytical building-blocks of writing persuasive, informed essays.
